The new array of article spinner products.
This can’t be a serious question. It must be nice to be so wealthy and secure that you need no help from anyone and to be so sure you never will. Try using a little of that money to by some compassion for your fellow man, why don’t you. Thanks for the points.
No. They do very good work.
Most of them. Not all, but most.
Most of them sound like just a bunch of bureaucrats pushing papers around without much consequence.
No.
Support mental health.
No
yes
next question
Nope, sorry con, move to Somalia
You could add General Motors
All of them excpt for the FDIC. Because that was insures us that if a bank loses our money, we get our money back. Oh and Job Corps. Young people need the skills to learn to get a job
You forgot the DEA and ATF
Yes, yes, and yes. None of them should currently exist and they should all be eliminated. If it isn’t spelled out in the Constitution, the federal government should not be doing it.
Probably most of them. But we need a strong defense, so I wouldn’t cut anything about that.
NO some are good & very necessary but I’m sure many of them could be melded together or even discarded. This is for an economics or budget reason.
The governments role is to protect not care for our welfare.
Some of them, but not most of them.
These are a few of the ABC’s of bureaucracy. Almost all are pencil-pushers without any useful purpose. Only their abolition can help solve our budget problems, although that alone is nowhere near enough.
This country was founded without any of these programs. If it keeps going in the direction it’s going, we may as well rejoin the countries we fled from. This is the last stand on earth for freedom loving people. Lose it and lose freedom.
They all look like federal programs administering things that should be left to the states besides the CIA whose actions are highly questionable as far as constitutionality. I’m in favor of elimination.
Do you wish to make our nation completely incompetent simply because you don’t understand the good and necessary work that many of these organizations do? Must we reduce our national apparatus to simply the work that you’re capable of handling?
No unless you want the US to become a 3rd world country.
Leave the Wild Horses alone, it’s about the only thing this country does that actually makes money. When the population of wild horses grows too large, they round them up and sell them off.
You have way too much time on your hands, too much damn time! Wish I could sit around all day and think of programs to hate on, I’m sure to people who use those programs- they are important.
I suspect that you don’t know what most of these do so how can anybody be sure that they don’t do good work and are necessary.
I can see several that are very necessary and would not support their elimination.
They aren’t there for no reason, they actually help people you know.
We should get rid of …
- Freddy Mac & Fannie Mae – failure
- Administration on Aging (AoA) – ridiculous
- Healthy Marriage Initiative (HMI) – lmao
- Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs – not necessary
- Office of Management Policy – not necessary
- Office of Protocol – not necessary
- Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board – stupid
- African Development Foundation – we should worry about our own domestic problems first before worrying about the domestic problems in various countries on another continent.
- National Ice Center (NIC) – not necessary
- The C.I.A. – their b/s lies got us into Iraq. How much did the oil corporations pay them to produce those “intelligence” reports of “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq? Hmm. Can’t help but wonder.
The rest I agree with. The MOST important programs there that we should keep and fund better than we are now are the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, Social Security, Job Corps and anything that is associated with health care, education or cultural groups (especially Native Americans, I mean come on, it’s the least we can do after stealing their land). All the foreign affairs programs that are currently independent should be grouped together under the State Department.
A lot of those programs truly ARE necessary. Many aren’t, but are still useful.
they should all be done away with. ironic that the cost to maintain the Bureau of Public Debt only adds to the public debt.
they should all become nonprofits and support their activities through charitable donations. if they can’t, that just means there’s no public demand to have that service exist. not to mention NPOs are far more accountable for their expenditures than the government is, which would mean less money is wasted on bureaucracy.
people say “Where’s your compassion?” but what’s happening is the government, through taxation, is forcing me to make charitable donations. we should be able to give our hard-earned money to whatever charity we like. yes, America in general still does that, but if we were taxed at a lesser rate because of the elimination of these programs, then we’d have more money to give to charities of our choice.
I hate paying taxes as much as anyone, but people like you drive me crazy. Where do you think our country would be without all these organizations. All these people in these organizations lose their jobs, the government now has no programs to help them out. Where the hell do you think we would be. We would end up just like every 3rd world country out there jack a#@.
